Mogućnosti rešavanja unutardržavnih konflikata
Get PDFConflicts have been a constant phenomenon in history both between groups in the archaic communities as well as between global societies and in the international community in general. Although due to the escalation of regional and internal conflicts in the 1990s the prevention and settlement of social conflicts has become a significant topic for the political and theoretical discussions in most cases the applied modalities and the conflict settlement strategies have proved to be inefficient, while the national and super-national arrangements have been helpless. The authors point to the latest strategic options in the conflict prevention. They analyze the issues related to the civilizing and institutionalization of conflicts as well as the effects of the international mediation and the use of force in their termination.Autori ukazuju da su konflikti u dosadašnjoj istoriji bili konstanta pojava kako na nivou unutargrupnih odnosa arhaičnih zajednica, tako i globalnih društava i u međunarodnoj zajednici uopšte. Iako su, zahvaljujući eskalaciji regionalnih i unutardržavnih konflikata u poslednjoj deceniji XX veka, pitanja prevencije i rešavanja društvenih sukoba postala značajna teorijska i politička tema, primenjeni modaliteti i strategije rešavanja konflikata u većini slučajeva su se pokazali kao neefikasni, a nacionalni i nadnacionalni institucionalni aranžmani kao nemoćni. Autori ukazuju na novije strateške opcije u prevenciji konflikata. Istovremeno se analiziraju i pitanja vezana za civilizovanje i institucionalizaciju konflikata kao i efekte međunarodnog posredovanja i upotrebe sile u njihovom okončavanju
Pristup metodologiji procene rizika
Get PDFAll single organization has to provide risk management process to enable continuously detection and response to changes in dynamical environment. This paper describes common risk assessment methodology and can be apply to any activity, decision and operation of public, private and societal enterprises, associations, group or person. However, applying this methodology includes certain precondition this paper presents as well.Metodologija procene rizika opisana u ovom radu je opšteg karaktera i stoga može biti primenjena na širok spektar aktivnosti, odluka i operacija javnih, privatnih ili društvenih preduzeća, asocijacija, grupa ili pojedinaca. Ipak, njena primena podrazumeva određene uslove kojima se ovaj rad takođe bavi
Understanding diversity in policing: Serbian perspectives
No full textPurpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine relations between police and vulnerable social groups in Serbia as a post-conflict society in transition. Design/methodology/approach - The research is based on a qualitative methodology that generated data from 13 round tables and focus groups. Findings - Although the attitude of the police is gradually changing, representatives of minority groups perceive that the police still hold preconceived stereotypes regarding some societal groups. In order for the police to gain the confidence of these minority groups, they must proactively seek to engage these groups more meaningfully. Institutions in Serbia have still not developed an appropriate strategy for dealing with minority group victims of violence. In addition to legal problems, there are those issues that are embedded within wider cultural stereotypes. Excessive centralization and the hierarchical structure of the police have tended to exacerbate relations between the police and minority communities. Members of these ethnic minorities therefore tend to view the perceived inappropriateness of responses to inter-ethnic incidents as being due to a number of causes. Research limitations/implications - Owing to the qualitative approach, the results are not easily generalizable, but they indicate the most important problems of Serbian policing regarding marginal social groups. Practical implications - This research may be a useful source of information for the Ministry of Interior in attempts to improve relations with minority groups. Originality/value - This paper reveals problems in relations between the police and vulnerable social groups and draws on the views of both minorities and the police. In Serbia, there is no similar research into this issue
Metodologija procene parametara humane bezbednosti u lokalnoj zajednici
Get PDFAlthough the concept of human security has achieved legitimacy in academic community and also a prominent place in political plans and strategies, there has not been generally accepted approach for its assessment. After a short review of various definitions of this concept, we conclude that, albeit reports on state of human security indicators most frequently pertain to the national or regional levels, numerous research experiences suggest the insight that the local level of human security is the one that is the most fertile. In this paper the way of application of investigative procedures within broader methodological approach of Community-based participatory research - CBPR: secondary analysis of data, participatory observation, standardized interviews, survey in neighborhood and participatory focus groups. By complementary application of quantitative and qualitative research techniques, within the suggested methodological approach, a deeper insight and a more accurate assessment of human security parameters is provided. The possibility of evaluation of people's willingness level for recognizing the existence of a problem, deciding to do something on its prevention, mitigation or potential elimination and finally realize specific activities is of special interest.Koncept humane bezbednosti, zasnovan na građanskim/civilnim vrednostima i utemeljen na pretpostavci da su ljudi i njihove potrebe osnovni subjekti, odnosno temeljni ciljevi bezbednosti, obuhvata široko polje postupaka koji se odnose na čovekov svakodnevni život i dostojanstvo. Polazeći od činjenice da složena procena stanja humane bezbednosti u lokalnoj zajednici treba da se zasniva na analizi spremnosti, aktuelnih problema i raspoloživih resursa u lokalnoj zajednici u oblasti humane bezbednosti, u radu je prikazan način primene istraživačkih postupaka unutar šireg metodološkog pristupa učesničkog akcionog istraživanja u zajednici. Kroz analizu nekoliko analitičkih postupaka ukazano je na to kako se komplementarnom primenom kvantitativnih i kvalitativnih istraživačkih metoda mogu obezbediti dublji uvid i tačnija procena parametara humane bezbednosti, pri čemu je ceo proces procene osmišljen kao zajednička akcija istraživača i članova zajednice koji rade zajedno da bi definisali i kritički analizirali postojeće stanje humane bezbednosti, a nakon toga planirali, sprovodili i procenjivali aktivnosti usmerene ka unapređenju bezbednosti i kvaliteta života na nivou lokalne zajednice
Qualitative approach to the research into the parameters of human security in the community
No full textPurpose - The purpose of this paper is to present a qualitative methodological model applied in the human security research in local communities as a part of a wider community-based participatory research (CBPR). Design/methodology/approach - This paper synthesizes methodological experience from four empirical researches where a qualitative model of studying the security indicators in the local communities of Serbia has been applied. The paper presents how to apply qualitative approach and indicates its potentials, and suggests how to implement the study, design the sample plan and analyse obtained data. Findings - The research of complex phenomenon of social perception of security demands a complementary approach strategy. At the most general level, it means the application of quantitative and qualitative research methods in order to achieve an integral insight into the self-reflection of citizens about their individual and collective security. Research limitations/implications - The methodological experience from four conducted investigations on which this paper is based, gives only an initial foundation for the creation of a successful model of security appraisal. Further elaboration of this model demands inclusion of the findings from other surveys. Practical implications - The suggested model may be further developed as well as in the sense of methodological subtilization, and as a practical model for the appraisal of security condition in a local community. This would be the starting point for creating strategies and their operationalization into specific action plans, in order to improve those indicators, which are established as expressing some form of security threat in the local communities studied. Originality/value - By complementary application of qualitative and quantitative research perspective (using CBPR approach), we can get profound insights into the causes and character of security threats inside communities. Through application of this approach we get deeper understanding of comparable and representative (in)security survey findings, as well as significant participant's opinions about a potential model of action for improving their security and safety
Sistem nacionalne bezbednosti - pokušaj definisanja pojma
Get PDFContemporary security challenges, emerging in the areas of politics, economy finance, energy, ecology, religion, culture, informatics, and other areas of social life, impose a need for involving a greater number of state and social organizations in the activities that help foster the national security. In addition to increasing the number of the organizations addressing the national security issues, there is a need to respond to the security risks challenges and threats in a united and coordinated manner, which makes the notions of 'national security' and 'national security system' more complex. The paper basically presents an attempt to define the term 'national security System' and determine its scope, based on an analysis of its structure.Savremeni bezbednosni izazovi, koji se javljaju u oblastima politike ekonomije, finansija, energetike, ekologije, religije, kulture, informatike i drugih oblasti društvenog života, nameću potrebu uključivanja većeg broja državnih i društvenih organizacija u poslove kojima se osigurava nacionalna bezbednost. Pored povećavanja broja organizacija, koje se bave pitanjima nacionalne bezbednosti, postoji potreba da se na bezbednosne rizike izazove i pretnje odgovori na jedinstven i usklađen način što dovodi do usložnjavanja pojmova 'nacionalna bezbednost' i 'sistem nacionalne bezbednosti'. Osnovni predmet rada jeste pokušaj da se definiše pojam 'sistem nacionalne bezbednosti' i da se odredi njegov sadržaj na osnovu analize njegove strukture
Antropologija seksualne eksploatacije
Get PDFIn this paper, the authors observe sexual exploitation from an anthropological perspective. They analyze the rational, ethical, emotional and mythological dimensions of human sexuality. Consequently, after setting the phenomenon in a social and historical context, sexual exploitation is closely observed in the contemporary age. Based on thoughts of relevant thinkers, they make the conclusion that the elimination of sexual exploitation is not an utterly legal issue, but political and economical issues as well. Namely, legal norms are not sufficient to overcome sexual exploitation, but, political and economical relationships in contemporary societies, which will be based on sincere equal opportunities must be established.U radu autori posmatraju seksualnu eksploataciju iz antropološke perspektive, odnosno osvetljavaju racionalnu, etičku, emotivnu i mitološku dimenziju ljudske seksualnosti. Nakon situiranja fenomena u društveni, odnosno istorijski kontekst, autori nešto detaljnije posmatraju seksualnu eksploataciju u savremenoj epohi, da bi na tragu relevantnih mislilaca zaključili da pitanje ukidanja seksualne eksploatacije nije formalno-pravno, već političko i ekonomsko pitanje. Naime, za prevazilaženje seksualne eksploatacije nisu dovoljne pravne norme, već uspostavljanje istinski ravnopravnih političkih i ekonomskih odnosa u savremenim društvima
Uživanje u pornografiji i seksualno ponašanje mladih Beograda
Get PDFAuthor investigates if there is a correlation between the enjoyment in pornographic contents which where presented in the media and sexual behavior of young people in Belgrade. For the purpose of this research, a questionnaire with five-degree Likert scale has been put together. Test results indicate that there is the claimed link between the enjoyment in pornographic contents and sexual behavior of young people. Around 10 % of young population which was included in the research has manifest inclination for consuming pornographies which is correlated with the inclination for promiscuous behavior and use of sexual tools. Girls are less inclined to the enjoyment in pornographic contents then boys.Autori istražuju da li postoji povezanost između uživanja u pornografskim sadržajima koji se nude u medijima i seksualnog ponašanja mladih u Beogradu. Pored ovih osnovnih varijabli takođe se prati uticaj tri agesna socijalizacije: porodice, škole i vršnjaka. Za istraživanje je sastavljen upitnik od 62 ajtema sa petostepenom likertovom skalom. Faktorska analiza je izdvojila 6 faktora. Osnovne varijable su prikazane sa faktorima 'uživanje u pornografskim sadržajima' i 'sklonost promiskuitetnom ponašanju i korišćenju seksualnih pomagala', agensi socijalizacije su prikazani kroz faktore 'otvorenost roditelja za seksualne teme', 'otvorenost škole za seksualne teme' i 'sklonost vršnjaka pornografskim sadržajima'. Izdvojen je i faktor 'shvatanje da porno ima negativan uticaj na seksualno ponašanje'. Nalazi pokazuju da postoji tražena povezanost između uživanja u pornografskim sadržajima i seksualnog ponašanja mladih, dok nije nađena povezanost između faktora koji predstavljaju školu i porodicu kao agense socijalizacije i osnovnih varijabli. Takođe je dobijena povezanost između uživanja u pornografskim sadržajima i sklonosti vršnja pornografskim sadržajima. Devojke su manje sklone uživanju u pornografskim sadržajima kao i sklonost promiskuitetnom ponašanju i korišćenju seksualnih pomagala za razliku od mladića. Urađena je hijerarhijsku klaster analizu uz optimizaciju Wardovog kriterijuma i dobijene su četiri tipične grupe mladih u odnosu na nađene faktore. 9% populacije mladih koja je obuhvaćena istraživanjem ima izraženu sklonost konzumiranju pornografije koja je povezana za sklonošću promiskuitetnom ponašanju i korišćenju seksualnih pomagala i njih smo označili kao grupu mladih sa seksualno devijantnim ponašanjem, devijantno u smislu značajnog odstupanja od prosečnog ponašanja u populaciji. 38% čini grupa mladih koja uživa u pornografiji, a isti procenat ima i grupa mladih koji jednostavno ne konzumiraju pornografske sadržaje. 15% otpada na grupu mladih koji su protivnici pornografije iako nalaze delimično uživanje u njoj. Pokazalo se da postoji povezanost između dobijenih klastera i ajtema koji izražavaju određene stavove mladih. Tako se pokazalo da je uživanje u porno povezano sa stavom da uzrasno ranije treba započeti sa seksualnim partnerskim odnosima, kao i da se ne treba vezivati za partnera već ulaziti u avanture i kratkotrajne veze. S obzirom da postoji velika grupa mladih koja ne konzumira porno sadržaje pretpostavljamo da se radi o delu populacije koji teži redovnom seksualnom životu sa stalnim partnerima prema kojima postoje razvijena osećanja ljubavi. Ako se na taj način zadovoljavaju seksualne nagonske potrebe kao i potrebe za ljubavlju onda ta grupa ljudi uglavnom ne pokazuje težnju da zadovoljava seksualne ili neke druge potrebe uživanjem u pornografskim sadržajima. Kod preostalog dela populacije pretpostavljamo da su sa seksualnim potrebama isprepletene i neke druge potrebe, kao one za dominantnošću, agresivnošću i slične. Smatramo da takvi ljudi posežu za pornografijom kao izvorom dodatne stimulacije za zadovoljenje kao seksualnih tako i ostalih potreba koje se prepliću sa seksualnim
